I discovered this amazing remedy by trying to use up extra ingredients I had around. I threw them altogether and let them sit a while. Then when I needed extra garlic it was easier to get in the kids or myself.

Healing Honey

Local Raw Honey

Raw Garlic Cloves

Minced Ginger Root

Minced Turmeric Root

Peel and dice all ingredients and fill a small, medium or large mason jar and pour honey over til you cover the ingredients leaving 1/8 ” head space. Cover lightly with a lid. In 12-24 hours add more honey til jar is full. The mix will somewhat ferment.

Once runny, store in a cool dry place or refrigerate for longer keeping. I have had mine over 6 months. If using metal canning lids you may consider a piece of parchment or waxed paper to reduce rusting lid around the ring.

Take a spoonful or more as needed for any and all symptoms.

Great for illness, parasites, infections, sore throat, GBS, headache, pain and inflammation, cold or flu, and more

For those suffering with the maddening itch of eczema, flaring, blistering, itchy and chafing- a simple cayenne scrub may aid in healing and itch relief. Start off slow on the cayenne and test on a small area. It isn’t the easiest to tolerate at first but has played a major part in my healing journey along with my diet changes. Here are some recipes I used along with my Cayenne Pain Salve

Cinnamon Paste (a mild beginning)

1/2 c Peanut Butter

4 Tbsp Cinnamon Powder

4 Tbsp Raw Honey

Mix ingredients well and apply as needed. Nightly until healing well. Works well to relieve itching and draw out eczema. Scrub, massage, scrape, or simply wash off. Do not hesitate to scrub a little rough as this will help to get the rooted eczema to the surface.

Cayenne/Cinnamon Yogurt (for those just starting out and need a milder start)

1/2 cup yogurt or kefir

2 Tbsp Cayenne and/or 2 Tbsp Cinnamon

Mix ingredients well and apply as needed. Nightly until healing well. Works well to relieve itching and draw out eczema. Scrub, massage, scrape, or simply wash off. Do not hesitate to scrub a little rough as this will help to get the rooted eczema to the surface.

Cayenne/Cinnamon Clay

1/4 cup bentonite clay liquid OR

1/8 cup bentonite clay powder and 1/8 cup water

2 Tbsp Ground Cayenne Pepper and/or 2 Tbsp Cinnamon

Cayenne/Cinnamon Scrub Recipe (For those ready to rage war and try anything)

3 Tbsp Ground Cinnamon

1 Tbsp Ground Cayenne Pepper

2 Tbsp Peanut Butter and/or Raw Honey

Mix ingredients in a small jar and apply to eczema or acne as needed for relief. Daily or nightly as able. Cover with towel or plastic bag as needed to leave on as long as possible. (You may want to test a small area and the burn is temporary and you build a tolerance to it . (starting out you may just want to add a dash of cayenne and work up to more) I literally chased my eczema around my hand this way. I had to get serious and attack full force.

Directions for using Cayenne treatments

Mix ingredients well and apply as needed. At night or an hour before bedtime.

CAUTION: I would not try the cayenne with a young child. Cinnamon will burn a little so maybe start with a Tbsp and work up to more. I would do this for about a week during the most severe itchy times of the month as the eczema cycles.
